The Earl of • LAUDERDALE presented a petition from certain Cotton-spinners 'and others of the city of Glasgow,, praying. for a Committee to in quire;into the present situation and circumstances of that trade. Lord BINNING, and several other Members, brought up a message from the Commons, re questing that the Earl of Powts, and the Lord HAIIRIS, may be permitred to attend a Committee of the House of Commons, now sitting on certain Private or Local Bills. The Messengers were informed, that their Lord ships would send an answer by Messengers of their own. The Saving Banks' Amendment Bill was brought up from the Commons by Sir JAMES GRAHAM and others, and read the first time. The•Sp - anish Slave Treaty Bill passed through a Committee of the whole HonSe, and was re ported. - • The Earl of Rossw stated his intention to Move the second - reading of the Chat itable Dona tions' Bill' on Monday, and moved a summons for that day.—Ordered. Viscount SIDMOOTH ►resented an additional Report from the Commissioners appointed to in quire into the state of the Courts of Justice in Scotland. The Marquis of LANspowNE presented a yeti = tion from Two Individuals of the Est a blishment of Greenwich Hospital, complainih t : o• certain dues or allowances being unjustly withheld from them. QUEEN'S COUNCIL The Order of the Day. Oa the second reading of this Bill being read-- 7 The Lonn CHANCELLOR rose and addressed a variety of observations to their Loidslip• on the subject of the Bill. - His Lordshi, exi , t!ssed idol self for the greater part rat her in 11.1 , 1 W - tone of 'voice. He observed that the course of ctrcton stances rendered it advise:fhb!, and more or less necessary and expedient, not only that the num- Per of her Majesty's ,Conucil should_ be increased, but that certain provisions in :he Act of the slst of his Majesty, called the Regency At". should ts, repealed. No ntonher was proposed by the Bill as to the additional Councillors ; that was .to be left to the_wisdom and discretion of !ben: Lordships ; but it was deemed preferable so tat to dep,rt from the original mode of appoiuting these Offi cers, as to vest the nomination in the Q seen her:- self. Ttse`number of Councillors fixed by the Regency Act for the assistance of het Majesty in her high, delicate, and important duty, ffas eight, of whom she was deprived s,oct ny dew h of one; but which Noble Pelson had been replaced, as the Act provided, On the nominalio n nt her Majesty. Their Lordships had an opportunity since ifs in troduction to read and consider the proyisious of th e present measure. Its advisers . , i!owever, did not expressly stand as to t h e so il extent and letter of its provisions, as in a Committee, then Lord ships might deem it, on more particular discus siotk,'to • be susceptible of a inenthlleut. With re spect to the are awl enstody of his Majesty's sacred person, • their Lortiships-were a.% are t hat, by the existing Act, in lie event of the Illustrious Persuns ceasing to have that charge, that I'arl a went was to be tOrthwith convened, or even in . ' he case of a new•Parliatok•nt beiti called, it the event should take place, the preceding Parliament should be recurred TO tor the . on!pose.ot supplying the importa:it detect ;—the nicaleulable inconvenience of such a priicednre was too obvions to be dwelt upon. To remedy this defect, which the lapse of time .and change of circumstances had rendered more expedient and necessary, the correspondent clauses in the measure now before their _Lordships were propose 4 ; but Which, on a more part icular investigation in a Committee, may, if deemed ne cessary, he amehded, of an additional clause pro duced. ,On this view mid explanation, as to the nature and object of the measure, he would move that this Bill he now r e ad the second time. Earl GREY rose, and.observed he could not help Hots again expressing his surprise that a measure of this nature should be proposed, with out any one specific or distinct reason being as signed for its necessity. It was with some share of disappointment he perceived, after what had been declared on the former clay, . that no reason, necessity, or motive, should he now assigned on the important stage of the second reading. On these points the -Noble and Learned Lord was pnexpectedly silent. ‘Nothing but general state ments were offered, and especially respecting the inconveniency which would be felt if that part of the Regency Act which respected the care of his Majesty were left unrepealetl„ With respect to the mode of appointing the new Members of the Council, he (Lotd Grey) thought it preferable to adhere to the mode laid down in the further and upon thesatue principle. But with respect to the more important consideration of varying •the provision its the Regen 4 Act for the speedy assembling of Parliament in the event of a de mise, ii seemed to he now viewed in a very diffe rent light from what it was formerly. It was now held, that in, the event of a demise, even after the new Parliament was called, the pro vision, by enacting a recurrence to the former Parliament; would produce incalculable incon venience to the public, and expellee to individuals.• He _could not but express his surprise at such a provision having crept into the original Bill, which, froM the legal office the Noble and Learn ed Lord held_ at the time, he most imagine he had some share in framing. (To this the Noble Lord on the Woolsack signified his dis- ' sent.) Subsequently however, when the mea sure was introduced in 1811, on the occurrence of his Majesty's present. nnhappy malady, and the Nobleiaml Learned Lord held the high office-he now holds, that•Bill, - though it underwent a great deal of discussion, was literally :copied from the former, and the alleged mistake; if such it was, repeated, and on this he could tmt again avoid expressing his surprise. A Noble Lord had stilt.. ed, that the event of a demise of his Majesty stood upon different, grounds from that ,contin- gency at present under consideration ; in the de gree of importance there may be some difference; but from a view of the former Bill, be did not see the difference in other respects. Since the lust Regency Bill 7 gears bad elapsed,..and in that in terval it would appear these pending inconveniences bad never until very lately entered into the heads of Iris Majesty's • Ministers. Why, he would ask, was not this measure proposed before.? Why Wait until the close of a Session—until all the business was winding up; and then, without no tice, or even a single reason - assigned, not even in .the preamble, introduce such a Bill as the pre sent ? There must be some other motive for the proceeding. Motives of delicacy, however, he thought should preclude too close a discussion of the subject ; but whatever objections that way may take place, it rested with those who so un opportunely brought forward the measure. The time; he thought, was pecularly ill adapted to the' agitation .of such questions, and at a thneparticu lady, when, to speak at least hypothetically, her Majesty's valuable life may be .considered in danger. And 'farther,' when he considered the mode in which the additional members were pro posed to he created, and the indefinite periotlof their continuance, he considered the measure as exposed to such serious objections, that though he could not offer a negative to the second reading of the Bill, he felt it his duty to oppose to it, at leaSt, the previous question. His Lordship then took a cursory review of the clauses of the Bill, and argued, that on a view of _the whole, and still more so under the present circumstances, and re garding. one motive for bringing forward the mea sure to be an intended speedy dissolution of Par (lament, perhaps in a fortnight, the Bill was one their Lords ,, ios, consistently with their duty, could ow' consent to. On a future anti more suit able opportunity they could take up the discussion on a inure extensive scale -and less objectionable 1)6116 1 )1e, when due provision may he. made for the exercise of the Royal Authority, in the im portant event cif the demise of the Prince Regent; and also with a view, regard being had to the la-1 incurable state in which - his Majesty was placed, and .unhappily likely to coutinne, to consider what reductions may be made in the immeuse.expendi - - tore of the establishments at Windsor. • With re spect Co a due Provision for she exercise of the Royal 'Functions in the contingency of the de mise of the Illustrious Person who now held it, the high office was a consideration of the less dif ficulty, when there-happily could be no danger as to the succession, and when the Illustrious Per 'son, the next to that succession, presented a (ies tion upon which there could not be two opinions either in the Pat liatnent or in the country. Upon these generalgrouuds and considerations, as well as some others superadded by the Noble Earl, comparatively of minor importance, the Noble Earl ur wed (lib previous question. The Earl of LIVERPOoL answered the objec tions in .an able and eloquent speech of some length. He contended, the real question was, whether the present measure was fit, upon the grounds proposed, to be adopted by / Parliament ? That there may be other, or ulterior topics for consideration, did tint in the least alter the ques tion now before them. Upon the subject there may he differences of opinion ; hut none, he could think, existed upon the question, whether or not the care of the King's person should continue in her Majesty ? On that prioCiple the leading clause in the Bill p.oceeded, and for which the fact, cletirly expressed, constituted a sufficient ground. What his7Noble and Learned Friend stated upon • that head, and upon the point'of the impractica bility of ally Member of the present Council habi tually attending at Wiudsor,was clear and incon trovertible; aml the principle of the nomination resting exclusively in her Maje;ty was establish ed • by the, provision in the Regency Bill, and what her M-ajesty had already done, or might have had occasion to do, under that provision. The melancholy event of death might have afforded the opportunity of tier Majesty's replacing every one of. her present Council ; therefore to her ap pointing the additional Members there could be no rational objection whatever. With respect to a provision for continuing the powers of the Re gency, there was no necessity at the time of its enactment for making any eventual provision ; and, upon the whole, in that respect, he argued it would have been productive ,of more inconve nience to have.made provision for an eventual gency than to adopt the course which had been taken. It was, therefore, esteemed preferable. (and in whiCh sentiment a Noble Barou, then ab-, sent, concurred)', to .leave that consideration un touched ; and with respect to, the Crown it was very different,. for there the next in succession came in as a matter of right. The measure before their Lordships went to obviate every inconve nience to be apprehended in this particular case,. from the provision of the Regency Act, and it was provided her Majesty's Council, in the event of her demise, should have the care and custody of his ►\lajesty's Royal Person until Parliament should meet ; whereas, under the provision intended for , repeal all the incalculable disadvantages ,which could result from an intervening dissolution, and the re-assembling' of the preceding Parlia ment, would be incurred. As to - the period of the measure's introduction, the consideration of the possibility of its j being introduced earlier was no argument against entertaining it ; and with re spect to the supposed indelicacy of the present agitation and discussion of the measure, lie must, in justice f o himself and his Noble and, Learned Friend, observe, that the feelings of the Great Person most particulatly referred to, were not in the least compromised. He had tl►e high satis faction to say, that the measure in question was now brought forward, not only with the full knowledge and approbation of the Great Person whom it was equally ►heir duty and their inclina tion to consult, but it was agreeable to the feel ings and the desires of that illustrious person that it should be sb--(Hear !)—He, therefore, thought in every point of view there was ample grounds for, submitting the measure to Parliament. They were not tenacious as ,to any particular words in the proposed Act, which may easily be accorded in a Committee, so as to obviate every shadow of objection to the Bill, and he, consequently, felt • it his duty to press the motion for its second reading. • heeEarl of CARNARVON spoke shortly against the Bill in its present shape, which, if adopted ) he thought, would appear like Parliament with drawing itself entirely from all care or concern respecting his Majesty's person. The most ad • vjsable mode, be thought, which could be adopt ed, under the circumstances, was to vote an in struction to the Committ ee to separate the Bill into two, as it certainly related to two vei y dis tinct considerations. ,At least the Bill would re quire the expunging two or three of its clauses to reduce it at all to au unobjectionable shape. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that to ex punge three clauses from a Bill which only con tained three clauses would be equivalent to its ex tinction altbgether.-;--(A laugh.), The Earl of LAUDERDALE regarded the measure in 'question as involving - no small degree of inno vation ; the Bill also possessed a different tenure for the Members of her Majesty's Council to bold their si - nations. At present they held them as such during his Majesty's indisposition ; now, the additional Members were proposed to hold their offices during lier Majesty's pleasure. The Regency Bill was enacted under_ circumstances very different from the present; especially with regard to- the view .to be taken of the state and duration of his Majesty's lamented indiSposition. He was adverse to fettering the Executive Go vernment with respect to the power of dissolution, but in his opinion, some of the provisions of the Bill in_question were objectionable, and would require much alteration and amendment. The LORD CHANCELLOR spoke in explanation, and admitted the Bill was susceptible of a little amendinent ; and entertained no doubt of its be ing easily'rendered unobjectionable in the. Co mmittee. With respect to the.preamble, he could. not but think that an adequate .cause . for the en actment, at the same time it may not be unfair to remark, that the greater number of Acts would be found to have no preamble at all. The'Marquis of BUCKINGHAM (from the Cross Bench) spoke rather in approbation of the mea sure. Circumstances had unfortunately arisen since the first enactment on the subject which would render farther alteration necessary ; but - with respect to the measure immediately before them he could_ not, especially with reference to what had latterly fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord, refuse his assent to the second reading. The question was then put, when the motion for the previous question was negatived, and the Bill consequently read the second time. The Earl of CARNARVoN moved an instruction to the Committee' to divide the Bill into two, whiCh, on the question being put, was negatived without a division. The Bill was then committed for Monday. BANK RESTRICTION BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to move the Order of he Day for the second reading of this Bill, but as he , understood it would be muter of conve'. nience •to several Noble Lords to postpone the discussion to the next stage of the Bill, he would propose that the Bill be now read the second time, with the understanding that the discussion should take place on the question for going into the Committee, A conversation then took place on the subject, in which the Earl of LAUDERDALE and Lord HOLLAND principally participated'. The Noble Earl observed, that the second read ing of such a - measure should not be mentioned without staring some or one of . the reasons or grounds which rendered it necessary. The Earl of LIVE'RPOOL replied, if there were no . other ground than the Loans made to Foreign Powers, particularly to France, for .the adoption of the measure, those would be sufficient. Lord HOLLAND remarked upon what he con• ceived to be some inconsistencies or contra dictions in-the Preamble. " Unforeseen circum stances " 'were stated therein as a ground. He thought if the syllable " fore" were left out it would be better. From the ocher grounds stated in the Preamble, - which• were illogical, there was besides no conclusion to be (limn in point of fact. . • Afte . r a short explanation from the Earl of Ll vErtroot., and a few words from the Marquisses of LANSDOWNE and BUCKINGHAM, - the Bill was read the second time, and the question for cont. miffing it postponed till Tuesday.—Adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The East India Marriage Bill went through a Committee. Report received, • and ordered to be taken info further consi deration on Monday next. The Clandestine Marriage Bill was read a second time.— Ordered to be committed un Monday next. • ROCK SALT. Mr. CALCRAFT moved for a Committee - of the whole House, on the Act 57 Geo. 3, cap. 4. regulating the Duty on Rock Salt, with a view to obtain leave to bring in a Bill to re... duce the Duty on Rock Salt used for Agricultural purposes. la moving this, he wished it to be understood that the Salt Corn-. mittee had turned their attention to several other important objects connected with the subject of their inquiry; audit was not because they had lost sight of those other objects, hut be cause there was no prospect of their being able to carry theta this Session, that they now confined themselves to this Bill. It was their opinion, in particular, that many beneficial re gulations respecting Salt used in the Fisheries;might be made.. In the Bill which he should submit to the Committee of the House, the Duty on Rock Salt used for• Agricultural purposes he should propose to be 51. per ton, which would make it ac cessible to every Agriculturist who might be willing to try the experiment. • After some obseryations from Mr. Wallace and Mr. Cnrwen in support of the motion, the House wetit into a Committee on the Act in question, on which the Resolr.tion proposed by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Cali:raft) was agreed to.—Report to he received to-morrow. • The Report of the Highways Penalty Bill was taken into consideration. To be read a third time on Monday next.
